** What is a Yakuake skin?
|
|
|
|
A Yakuake skin, at present, is a collection of PNG image files and related
|
|
settings that allows modifying the visual appearance of the Yakuake window
|
|
frame, the window title bar and the tab bar along with the button controls
|
|
on them and the default title bar caption.
|
|
|
|
|
|
** How is a Yakuake skin composed?
|
|
|
|
A Yakuake skin consists of a main directory, the name of which is used by
|
|
the application to identify that skin, and the files within. Two required
|
|
files are title.skin and tabs.skin located immediately in that directory.
|
|
Both are INI-style text files which contain the paths of the pixmaps that
|
|
are to be applied to the title bar and tab bar interface elements, res-
|
|
pectively, as well as the coordinates of the buttons and additional infor-
|
|
mation about the skin, such as its display name, its author and the email
|
|
address of the author.
|
|
|
|
You should derive new skins from the default skin. Please remember to
|
|
change the name of the base skin directory (which serves as identifier),
|
|
the skin display name, and include author information.
|
|
|
|
|
|
** How should I package a Yakuake skin?
|
|
|
|
The "Skins" page in the Yakuake configuration dialog features an "Install
|
|
Skin" facility that can install Yakuake skin directories packaged as a
|
|
tar archive and optionally compressed using gzip or bzip2. Packages can be
|
|
installed from a local volume or a URL (using KIO).
|
|
|
|
In managing skins, Yakuake uses the name of the base skin directory loca-
|
|
ted within the tar archive as internal identifier for the skin. It should
|
|
be unique to your skin, i.e. ideally a simplified version of the proper
|
|
name of your skin.
|
|
|
|
The skin list on the "Skins" config dialog page reads the Name and Author
|
|
properties from the *.skin files to populate list items with information.
|
|
Additionally, it will try to load a 32x32px image file given via the Icon
|
|
property to show as artwork next to the skin name.
